Understanding Virtual Router Routing Instances
Virtual router routing instances allow administrators to divide a QFX Series switch into multiple independent virtual routers, each with its own routing table. Virtual router routing instances enable you to isolate traffic without using multiple devices to segment your network. You can create routing instances for unicast routing protocols and PIM sparse mode.
Each virtual router routing instance consists of sets of the following:
- Routing tables
- Interfaces that belong to these routing tables
- Routing protocol configurations
- Routing option configurations
You can use virtual router routing instances to isolate customer traffic on your network and to bind customer-specific routing instances to customer-owned interfaces. Each interface can belong to only one routing instance. QFX switches and QFabric systems support as many as 256 virtual router routing instances.
